Join us live on Zoom with casting director Anne Fremiot, whose impressive career includes work associated with Perfume, Stillwater, The Serpent Queen and many more. Anne will share what casting directors notice, what makes an actor stand out and what happens behind the scenes of the casting process. You’ll also have the chance to ask her your own questions live on Zoom. I have personally been 'in the room' with Anne and her approach to casting is beyond amazing. Thursday 20 August 7 p.m. BST • 8 p.m. CEST • 11 a.m. PDT Following several requests, we’ve moved our masterclasses one hour later—so please make a note of the new times. We’ll add the Zoom link to the Skool calendar in the next few days for easy access. See you there! We would greatly appreciate you inviting fellow actors to our new community - https://www.skool.com/the-actors-copilot/about Love Tracey and Claire x

The Green Room is where we communicate, exchange ideas and help shape what comes next. These polls are important because we’re not simply building the programme for you, we’re building it with you. We have a stellar "Live from the Cockpit" masterclass lineup planned for the rest of the year, and we’re now looking ahead to the second quarter of next year. With the extraordinary rise of vertical drama, we’d love to know whether this is a subject you would like us to explore. The format is beginning to establish minimum daily rates for actors, creating a potentially valuable new source of income. It is also something you could realistically develop and produce yourselves. We personally know the director behind one of the vertical dramas going viral right now and have the opportunity to invite them to lead a masterclass. Would you be interested in exploring vertical drama as an actor and as a format you could produce?

Here is a tool we created for you. Sixteen checks to run before you press record on any self-tape. Your space. Your camera. You. It also sorts your phone settings once and for all. A guided walkthrough for iPhone and Android — grid lines on, 1080p at 30 fps, focus and exposure locked on your face so the camera stops hunting mid-take and your eyes stay sharp. Rear camera, always. And there's an interactive map of the three-point lighting system, so you can see exactly where the key, fill and back light belong. A bit of honesty about where this came from. I learned a lot about AI while recovering from a near fatal embolism, followed straight after by another operation. I won't get into it. But when you're in that situation, you have to find something to do. I already had a passion for building support tools for actors, so I studied. I trained under the world renowned AI Advantage Bootcamp with Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi, and I now know quite a bit more about this than the average generic user. And still, this little tool is amateur compared to what our brilliant Brazilian development team at Arrow Digital Media has built inside The Actors Copilot app, which some of you already subscribe to. We are about a month away from properly accelerating this platform, and when we do, I'll give live demos to anyone interested. That's a learning curve for us too. We're working long hours daily to make this into something incredible, so bear with us while it all becomes second nature. For now, run the Pre-Flight Check before your next tape. I hope it helps someone today. Click the link and try it: https://actorscopilot-preflight-check.netlify.app Tracey and Claire
